Answer:

Logjams were called “river man’s ruin” given that there was always an inherent danger in them. As these men were working on the rivers trying to dismantle the log jams, these structures could fall apart, suddenly killing or hurting them. Any sudden change in water conditions (abrupt rains, snow melting after winter, any animal crossing by) could change these “sometimes stable” structures into real life hazards.

Why would someone argue that the Electoral College system should remain the same
elixir [45]
The Electoral College should remain the same for various reasons. First, if it were not for the Electoral College, large states, such as California, would largely control the nation. The Electoral College is designed to maximize states' rights. For example, if the U.S. were a direct democracy, Hillary Clinton would have been elected as our president, even though approximately 90% states supported Trump. With the Electoral College, each state has 2-3 Electors for each Political Party. If the majority of the state votes for Hillary, the democratic electors for that specific state get the vote. If the majority of the state votes for Trump, the Republican electors get the vote. The system is designed to maximize sates' rights and avoid impulsive, mass decisions.
